His Lovely Obsession (English)

Chapter 35

(Stacey)

"W-What? What do you mean?" she asked, her voice trembling a little.

She has mixed emotions. She feels a bit giddy and at the same time afraid. His eyes have a certain

glint which is hard to place.

Then his face softened. "I like you."

That made her more shocked than she already is. He leaned forward to touch her cheek.

"I more than like you..I want you.." he said huskily.

As if in hypnotized, she is just staring at him in awe. Her mouth is slightly open. That is the most

unexpected thing she heard from him . He was about to kiss her which broke her trance. She pushed

him away from her.

"NO!"she protested and his expression hardened again. He straightened and his hands went to the

steering wheel to grip it.

"What do you mean no?" he asked with a very cold tone. His eyes are very hard.

She can't stand the stare so she turned her head to look out the window. " You are Heather's

boyfriend."

She didn't hear any reaction from him. It's impossible to have a relationship with him so she has to

make her message come across. Maybe what she will say next will make him stop doing all these.

" Stay away from me sir. I already have a boyfriend. " she added.

I can't handle someone like you. You will just break me to pieces when you decide to leave me for other

women. I don't want to be your toy. I won't let you do that to me. I can't do that to myself..she thought

sadly.

"Who is your boyfriend?" she heard him asked chillingly.

She played with her fingers on her lap.Deep inside, she is waiting for him to say that he is not

Heather's boyfriend but he didn't deny nor confirm it which somehow hurts. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

What's the matter with her? What is she thinking?

She shook her head slightly. She needs to clear her head. She is as complicated as he is.

"You don't need to know, sir ." she said, trying to make her voice neutral. She doesn't want him to

notice that she's bluffing.

(Nick)

Chill Alcantara! You need to have your head examined! Dammit! He scolded himself.

He made a slip again. He didn't plan to tell her how he feels. Tanya is right, he shouldn't let his

emotions get the better of him. His jealousy and his desire for Stacey are clouding his disposition.

"Who is your boyfriend? Your former boss or that bar owner you are with tonight?" he asked icily.

He looked at her. He saw her moistened her lips then she shook her head from side to side. He

suddenly closed his eyes. At least that's good. Now he knows the boyfriend she is referring to is Derick.

But somehow that worries him a bit. He feels that he is never sure when it comes to her. He will be only

completely satisfied and relaxed when she becomes his official girlfriend.

"Do you really think by saying you have a boyfriend, I will stop pursuing you?" he asked her.

(Stacey)

She moved her eyes to him again when he said that.

" I will pretend that I didn't hear that, sir! Aren't you ever satisfied with just one woman? Look, I won't

tell my sister what I saw tonight but please stop this. If you like collecting women, spare me. I am not

interested. I am happy with my boyfriend. " she tore here eyes from him and looked out the window.

"Why do you think so badly of me? Just to make things straight, I don't collect women. I have never

been with two women at the same time. " he said.

She sighed then she had no choice but to look at him once again which she regretted. Nick Alcantara is

sinfully sexy and he sometimes has a way with words especially when he wants to get his way . She

has to be tough so she can control her feelings. If she won't be, she will be in trouble. Like Derick, he is

also a bit bipolar which strange as it may seems, she finds attractive. Men like them are never boring.

To make matters worse, unlike Derick, she sees him almost every day and though she hates it to admit

it, she really finds him physically attractive. Who could say no to this man? His secretary is right, Nick

Alcantara is every woman's fantasy.

"What I think doesn't matter so you don't have to explain yourself, sir. I love my boyfriend because he is

a good man. Besides, my relationship with Heather is already bad and I don't want it to get worse so

please take me home now, sir. " she almost begged him.

"For the record, Heather is not my girlfriend. Didn't you hear what I just said? I have never been with

two women at the same time. I told you that I want you and I won't say that if your sister and I are a

couple. " he said sounding serious.

She is speechless. She knows that he is telling the truth. She feels it. But she is now getting annoyed

with herself because a part of her is relieved that he is not Heather's man.

NO! I can't be feeling this way! She scolded herself.

Okay, so he is not her half-sister's boyfriend but he was with another woman tonight and he just left her

like that. She feels sorry for her. She doesn't want to be one of his women because she doesn't want to

be treated like that.

(Nick)

He released a heavy sigh before he stepped on the gas to drive slowly to her house. He is not regretful

that he told her about Heather although he didn't plan to do that tonight but he has to make her like him

as Nick. If he made her keep believing that he is with her sister, his chance would be slim.

She hasn't seen Derick but she liked him, then the more that she should like him as Nick. His ego is

hurt big time because she said that she doesn't find him attractive. She already has a bad opinion of

him and his not being able to control his emotions probably made it worse. Sooner or later she will

discover that Derick and Nick are the same person so she should like him as Nick before that happens.

She has to accept everything about him not only his looks and money but also his high-handed

attitude, his being moody and especially his being very possessive.

(STACEY)

She is determined not to be lured by his charms. Next time she meets Derick, she will agree to be his

girlfriend. She is better off with him. Nick will just break her heart. She wants to save herself from being

hurt.

She was about to open her door when Nick said, " I have never wooed a woman but I will give it a try

this time with you. Sorry if I have been rude and I acted like a beast tonight at the restaurant. I am not a

violent person. I try to control myself most of the time but I am only human. I am not perfect. I really

want you to like me Stacey. I am not as bad as you think I am." he said while he is intensely looking at

her.

"Sir, I am sure a lot of more beautiful women out there want to be your girlfriend. You can take your

pick. I already have a boyfriend so you can't woo me. I will be cheating on him if I let you pursue me."

she said in a calm voice.

She should try to be less defiant . The more she disagrees with him, the worse things will be. Whether

she likes it or not, he is her boss. They have to work together harmoniously. One thing she mustn't

forget though is, she should do her best to resist his charms .She needs a lot of luck in doing that. She

almost crossed her fingers with the thought.

"I am the right man for you Stacey and you are the perfect woman for me. You will be mine, never

forget that." he said with confidence while eating her with his eyes.

You are mine and I will not let any one take you away from me. Nick added to himself.
